GLR Resources Inc.: Drilling Resumes on the Goldfields Project

KIRKLAND LAKE, ON--(Marketwire - August 21, 2007) - GLR Resources Inc. (GLR) (TSX: GRS) is pleased to announce that drilling has resumed on the Goldfields Project located in northern Saskatchewan. This particular program will consist of at least 5,000 metres of drilling of which most will be related to exploration around and below the present Box deposit area. Some "condemnation" drilling will also be carried out to ensure no zones of gold mineralization are located immediately beneath the proposed location areas for the mill buildings and waste rock piles.

GLR Resources recently made a request to the Saskatchewan Environment authorities to increase the size of the milling throughput from 2000 tpd to 5000 tpd. Saskatchewan Environment authorities noted that this would result in a few changes to the project in particular a larger surficial area for the waste rock pile. To accommodate this expanded waste dump, a further rare plant study has been undertaken in the area. In addition further ABA testing for potential acid mine drainage from the gangue stream was requested. These studies have now been completed with ABA tests showing no acid mine drainage problems. Rare plant study data and ABA test results will be submitted shortly for review and approval. This review and approval process will take some time and as such it is now not possible for Saskatchewan Environment to be able to issue the final environmental permit by the end of August as had initially been expected. It is now contemplated it will be at least November before GLR can expect the final permit.

The office and camp facilities in Uranium City are nearing completion and brush cutting of the power line to the Box deposit is on schedule for completion by the end of September.

In a Press Release dated July 30th, 2007, it was noted that GLR had received a revised term sheet from Investec Bank (UK) for US$40 million in project debt financing. Investec is now set to begin the formal due diligence review of the Goldfields Project feasibility study. Micon international from Toronto has been retained by Investec to assist in this endeavor. In addition, Investec Bank (UK) have indicated that as this due diligence review is proceeding, they should be in a position to advance some funds to GLR that can be used for down-payments on several key pieces of mill equipment. Ordering this equipment now will allow for delivery of it directly to site using winter ice roads in early 2008.

Commenting on the continued progress at Goldfields, Robert Kasner President and CEO noted "I am pleased to see drilling resume at Goldfields as there are several interesting areas to be tested and I believe the area has the potential to contain several more gold deposits and as mentioned in previous press releases, the Box and Athona deposits remain open at depth. I am also pleased with the progress being made by Investec Bank, and I look forward to the official completion of their due diligence review."
